Koro, dubbed 'penis panic' is a certified mass hysteria where men believe their members are in danger of vanishing. It's more common in Africa and the Far East

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, ONE Condoms sexpert Annabelle Knight said: “There are many products out there that can help with both length and girth, penis sleeves are hugely popular and have been shown to be extremely effective in increasing pleasure for both partners.”

The size-boosting sex toy comes in a range of shapes and lengths, so you can increase your manhood by anything from one to seven extra inches.

Penis extenders can also boost your girth, making your schlong a hefty 7.5 inches in circumference.

To wear one, guys can simply slide the sleeve over their penis while a ball loop will keep it in place and prevent slippage.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, Jess Wilde, Lovehoney’s sex and bondage expert, said: “Penis extenders are incredibly popular with people who want to deliver more filling sensations to their partner, who want to delay their own climax, or who have a fantasy for using or seeing their partner enjoy an extra-large penis.

“For people who suffer with erectile dysfunction (ED), a rigid penis extender can enable them to keep going without worrying about losing their erection.”

But some lads might be dubious about using a penis extender, for fear it will reduce their sensitivity and sexual enjoyment.

“Penis sleeves are hugely popular”

Jess said: “Because of the fact that most (not all) penis extenders form a barrier where skin-on-skin genital contact is not possible, many people question whether they can really be pleasurable for both partners.

"The thing to remember here is that, for most people, sex is both a psychological and a physical experience and both aspects are equally important for sexual satisfaction.

"Penis extenders can help enhance both the physical and psychological thrills of penetrative sex for both partners, in many ways.

"The wearer enjoys the satisfaction of pleasing their partner with new sensations, whilst also exploring a potential new fantasy."

Penis sleeves are a great shout for lads suffering with performance issues like erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE).

Jess said: "For those with ED, a rigid penis extender can enable the wearer to keep going, even with an intermittent or non-existent erection, and still enjoy the intimacy of penetrative sex without pausing or stopping penetration.

"This in itself also helps to reduce performance-related anxiety which in itself can contribute to erectile problems.

"For those with PE, the extender forms a barrier, reducing penis friction for the wearer.

"This can help them go for longer without climaxing. Plus, extenders with a ball loop enhance the delay property even further in the same way a cock ring does.

"This benefit is particularly helpful for straight couples where men tend to climax from penetrative sex sooner than women. An extender helps delay his orgasm, and increases couples' chances of her orgasming first, or them both climaxing together.

"For the receiver, the extender can help stimulate new areas and deeper erogenous zones. This is particularly sought after by people who like deep penetration, cervix stimulation or feeling stretched/full.”
